Health & Literacy Weblog

I want to let you know about a new feature we are piloting for the Health & 
Literacy Special Collection Website
www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs and invite you to participate. 

We want to establish a Health & Literacy Weblog.  The idea is to create an 
active space where teachers and health educators can share their health and 
literacy ideas and experiences. Unlike a listserve or bulletin board, Weblogs 
usually take the form of a running journal.  Over time we hope to invite many 
different teachers (and provide them with stipends) to reflect via the "blog."  

Steve Quann has volunteered to lead the pilot for us.  He will go through the 
process of developing a health lesson, implementing it in his ESL classroom, 
and with the input of others (and this is were you come in), reflecting on
the experience.  To help us with the pilot, we are looking for folks 
interested in health and literacy, and the Internet to log on and comment!  The more 
people, and the more comments the better!

If you're interested to seeing a Health & Literacy Weblog in action, and 
offering your comments and suggestions, go to the 
http://www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs and click on Health & Literacy Weblog.   

I hope you'll check it out!  

- Sabrina
